Abstract
Some peculiarities inherent in «Schumanniana» by A. V. Mikhailov (1938–1995) — the famous contemporary philologist, historian and musicologist — are characterized in the paper. The author analyses the earlier article «Schumann» (1966) by A. V. Mikhailov (it was published in the anthology «History of Aesthetics: Monuments of World Aesthetic Thought») in detail. That article is considered in context of 1960s: the most important tendencies of development of Soviet fine arts and aesthetics are implied.
